[QUOTE="DINOZR, post: 1585417, member: 41843"] I think your idea is genius--if you know you will need relays! I actually have a MLC-6 in a Jeep LJ I own. It's the only product from Rough Country I wouldn't be ashamed to own. The only limitation is that its native design is always on. You leave a switch on--you left your accessory on--and your battery is gonna die. By using the upfitters as switches, you will have solved this limitation because the upfitters are only powered with ignition ON. Your challenge will be mounting it in the engine bay. Side of the battery box would be my first thought, but I haven't test fitted it. Personally, I am not a fan of mounting to the top of the fuse box. I don't like drilling into the top of the factory fuse box and breaking that watertight design, nor occluding access to the factory fuses. But some people go with that location and have no problems, so you might consider it. You could do all your Deutsch connectors on a workbench and be able to attach them to the MLC-6 outside the engine bay. Depending on where you mount it, you'll most likely need to extend the upfitter wires. You could go ahead and fit your extensions with ring terminals to attach to the MLC-6 on your workbench, outside the engine bay. Really great idea! Show us some pics if you implement it! [/QUOTE]
